Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Su Yan and the other two set out for Tanjia Village.
Tang Lanqing sent a Tomato account to Su Yan: "This is the contact information of the person who needs help. When we get to the village, we will start the live broadcast directly."
Su Yan took the case file from her hand, hoping to get some clues from it. When she opened it, she saw a sentence written on it: Go to Tanjia Village and ask for the specific details yourself.
She threw the case file on the seat and said, "Your leader's work style is very unconventional."
Tian Zongyuan, who was driving in front, agreed with Su Yan's words, but in order to leave a good impression on him in front of his new colleagues, he still defended him: "The leader is not to blame for this matter. The case was brought up by the people below, and they said they couldn't handle it.
As you know, we have different education and different emphasis on cases. We were afraid that their thinking would lead us astray, so the leader asked us to ask again."
"However," he added, "our leader does have a lively personality. You'll see when you meet him."
Su Yan expressed her understanding: "But, is it okay for us to broadcast the news about their village live? Also, if there are problems in the entire village, won't the live broadcast alert them?"
Tang Lanqing explained: "After the incident, we found out that many strange things had happened in their village, which had caused a stir online. Some people even said that Tanjia Village was a cursed village. The live broadcast was to dispel this rumor.
As for the issue of being discovered, the reporter said that there is a rule in Tanjia Village that people returning to the village are not allowed to contact the outside world, so there is no possibility of this.
After the three of them got off the highway, Tian Zongyuen stopped the car in front of the group.
The leader and the three people who looked like the ones in the photo hurried forward and said, "Hello, I'm Yan Liye, the director of the local police station. My superiors asked me to come and assist you.
The people in Tanjia Village are very alert. You need to pretend to be students who need help so that you can enter and exit easily."
As the local official, Director Yan had more information, so he took the initiative to get into Su Yan's car and tell them the strange legend of Tanjia Village.
Before he started speaking, Su Yan took out her phone and said, "Director Yan, do you mind appearing in the live broadcast room?"
Director Yan had already learned from his superiors that the operation would be broadcast live. He shook his head and said, "I don't mind. My presence will be more convincing."
[It's started. Seeing that we're in the car, is the master asking for help from home again? ]
[This environment looks familiar. I think I've seen it on the web.]
Oh, seeing the uncle next to me reminded me, this should be Tanjia Village in our town, the one that's been very popular in the exploration community lately. If I weren't out of town, I'd really like to see it up close.
[It's that legendary cursed village. How exciting.]
For those who haven't heard of it, please refer to the next post, "I Encountered a Ghost Wall in a Small Village." You'll understand after reading it.
Director Yan's first words were: "This village is very strange."
"The first time I learned about the strangeness of Tanjia Village was at a work report meeting, because we require anti-fraud propaganda to be carried out in the village, and we also need to have on-site videos and photos.
The reports from other places that day were all very good, but the person in charge of Tanjia Village had a bitter face and submitted photos that were not up to standard. Not to mention slogans, several photos didn't even have people in them.
Seeing that I was about to lose my temper, the people below hurriedly explained: "Director, it's not that I don't want to go, but you have been here for a short time. Tanjia Village is an iron wall and does not welcome outsiders at all.
When we were fighting poverty, we brought technical personnel and supplies with us, but they left the supplies behind and drove us away.
As soon as you act tough, the old people in the village will lie down next to you and say that the cadres are bullying people. We can't enforce the law, so we can only leave.
You can ask around. Tanjia Village is now the poorest place in the town, even the city, and the surrounding villages will definitely stay away from them if they see them."
"At the time, other police officers also spoke up for him. Although I didn't punish him, I didn't quite believe what they said, so I decided to go and see for myself.
When my car drove into Tanjia Village, I realized that what they said was already very euphemistic. The actual situation in Tanjia Village was even more terrifying.
They are like uncivilized humans, stubbornly sticking to the old rules and refusing to communicate with you at all."
“After I returned, I formulated a series of policies, but none of them worked. I probably angered them so much that they sent two old men to sit on the bridge in front of the village and wouldn’t let you in at all.
Over the years, I've tried everything, and after so many failures, I'm ready to give up on this village and just leave it as it is."
Director Yan scratched his not-so-rich hair and said, "Who knew that in the past two years, the rumor that their village was cursed has become popular again on the Internet.
In the past few years, it was just a minor incident. I thought it was just the imagination of the people who came to explore and saw the strange way of getting along in their village. Who knew it would get worse and worse?
There are many different opinions on the situation in Tanjia Village, including people encountering ghost walls, seeing sacrificial offerings, and feeling dizzy as soon as they enter.
Because of these remarks, some bosses who are more superstitious about ghosts and gods have a bad attitude towards our entire town.
The fruits grown in several villages around it were not sold to the suppliers who had originally agreed to supply them, and now that the fruits are almost ripe, they still haven't found a market.
I am afraid that if this farce continues, not only Tanjia Village, but our town will be cast under an untouchable shadow, and the survival of tens of thousands of people will be affected.
"I invited you here today, Master, to see what's really happening in Tanjia Village. I hope you can exorcise the ghosts and exorcise the evil spirits, and strive to restore peace to them."
[I came back after reading the post. The explorers probably weren't lying. The video of them spinning in circles doesn't look fake. If someone hadn't called out to them at the end, they would have fallen off the cliff.]
What the police officer said is true. Our village is the closest to Tanjia Village, and this year, we can't sell anything we grow. My parents are worried sick.
[It seems that the matter is very serious.]
Su Yan took out a few amulets from her bag and handed them to Director Yan: "When we get off the car, give these amulets to your team members and tell them to keep them close to their bodies.
After entering the village, we try to stay together. If we have to separate unexpectedly, we will always keep in touch."
When they were almost at the village, they had to walk into the village because the road ahead was too bumpy.
Director Yan explained, "This road has been repaired. Ever since the rumor started, their village has been tearing it down, saying it was outsiders who brought disaster upon them."
After crossing the bridge, a flower field at the entrance of the village caught Su Yan's attention.
